2026 will be a pivotal year for procurement as AI moves from experimentation to operating reality. In this webinar, leaders from Zip and Instacart unpack the most important procurement predictions shaping the year ahead—separating hype from what’s actually driving impact. Drawing on insights from analysts, practitioners, and the Zip community, the session explores how AI agents, orchestration platforms, workforce evolution, and growing ROI pressure are fundamentally reshaping procurement operating models. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of what to prioritize in 2026 and practical next steps to turn prediction into measurable business outcomes.

The Zip Eat & Learn webinar series is a fast, high-value set of 15–20 minute lunchtime sessions designed specifically for procurement, finance, and operations teams in the DACH region who want a concise, practical introduction to Zip. Hosted in German, each weekly session gives prospects a focused look at how Zip streamlines key procurement processes—from intake and orchestration to P2P, supplier onboarding, risk management, and workflow administration—without requiring a large time commitment. The goal is to provide a tangible product experience, spark early-stage interest, and make it easy for attendees to book a tailored follow-up demo, while offering on-demand recordings for anyone unable to join live.

This event focuses on how procurement organizations must evolve their operating models to be ready for AI in 2025–2026. The session explains that AI—especially agentic and generative AI—is now transforming procurement far beyond traditional automation. Instead of just making processes faster, AI is changing how work gets done, which roles are needed, and how procurement teams are structured.
